FIELD: physics, computer technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention concerns method of first radio communication network (WLAN) user identification and payment charging for services of communication between user device (laptop) and first radio communication network (WLAN), involving use of mobile radio communication system including mobile station (MS) and mobile radio communication network (PLMN). User and/or mobile station (MS) identification data is transmitted by user device (laptop) from first radio communication network (WLAN) to mobile radio communication network (PLMN), or mobile station (MS) sends information request signal to mobile radio communication network (PLMN) for access to first radio communication network (WLAN). In response, mobile radio communication network (PLMN) sends charged short message to mobile station (MS), containing information on access to first radio communication network (WLAN). Payment charging for communication between user device (laptop) and first radio communication network (WLAN) is performed by charging for short message in mobile radio communication system.
EFFECT: possible user identification and payment charging for the use of first radio communication network (WLAN) without involving new equipment and additional investments.
